Elder Law/Medicaid
Are you dealing with the challenges of aging and long-term care? At Douglas H. McPhail, PLC we understand the rules and for more than 30 years we've helped families like yours protect their assets.
The best time to plan for the future is while you still have good physical and mental health. Medicaid covers some (not all) of nursing home expenses, which is why you need an elder law attorney for asset protection and estate planning.
According to the Michigan Department of Human Services, the average cost of nursing home care in Michigan for 2024 is $10,870 per month. At that rate, even a relatively short stay at a nursing home can wipe out all your family's resources.
All too often, families with elderly persons in need of long-term care don't seek the help of a Medicaid lawyer until they have already exhausted most of their resources. With their savings gone, 7 out of 10 nursing home residents end up relying on Medicaid's Medical Assistance Program to help pay for their care.
We provide estate planning counsel to our clients protecting their assets and preparing their family's estate planning needs. Learn more about our firm.
